It looks like the stock market is going to take another hit today....Just wondering how long you all think it will go on for?

18 minutes.

What IS the point of speculating on this? The nut case who posts every move in every market on here started a thread yesterday about the FTSE opening with a record leap. By mid-afternoon it was well down below opening.

It means nothing .... unless you get one of those 500 point falls in 20 seconds. They're fun.

Just looks like an average summer period of sideways trading to me.

I think there's going to be a lot of volatility because there are so many uncertainties sloshing around. We'll see another oil spike or two, I expect, but there's no telling exactly what impact that will have. US exporters will continue to do well, for a while at least.

My feeling is that stocks with international end-markets will fare better relative to those with a domestic focus. There are good reasons why retailers and banks might see earnings forecasts revised down in the coming months but I don't see any reason why there should be a broad decline across all sectors. Valuations are sensible because investors have been pricing in bad news forever. Demand in foreign markets, from raw materials to high tech, just keeps on booming.

I'm no expert though - this information does not represent a solicitation to buy or sell any security etc. etc.
